This school year, readers ages 9
through 12 will have the opportunity
to participate in voting for their favorite
books in the California Young Readers
Medal contest. We read books from
the Intermediate and the Picture
Books for Older Readers categories.
We meet on the third Monday of each
month to discuss book selections in a
fun and informal setting. Sign up at
the Children’s Desk and pick up your
copy of the book while supplies last.

STORYTIMES
The Library presents three age-specific
storytime programs each week:
Tiny Tot Tales – for children
ages one to three
Meets every Tuesday and Wednesday
at 10 a.m.
Lively songs, fingerplays, action
rhymes, flannel board stories, and
books, followed by a coloring activity,
delight the little ones ages one to three.
Younger siblings are welcome. This
25-minute storytime begins promptly
at 10 a.m. Since space is limited to the
first 25 people, we suggest families
arrive early.
Preschool Stories and Me –
for children ages three to five
Meets every Thursday at 10 a.m.
Engaging stories, songs, and active
rhymes captivate the imagination of
children ages three to five. Coloring
sheets and simple crafts round out
the themed storytime experience. This
30-minute storytime begins promptly
at 10 a.m. Since space is limited to
the first 25 people, we suggest that
families arrive early.
Each storytime session is held in the Storytime Room.
